I'm thinking of doing all my A-levels next year, in Year 12. I've heard that some universities want you to do a certain number of A-levels within the normal time period. Does anyone know if this is the case for Oxbridge? If not, for which universities is it the case? I want to study maths.

Thanks in advance

Any particular reason why you want to do it that way ?
Maths at Cambridge is one of the most competitive courses and you need the top notch grades. If you're 100% confident you can achieve it even you do all of them a year early & in one year, that's fine. But they will not give you a brownie point for doing that way if your grades are less than impressive.

And if you've just finished GCSEs, you need to know there's a huge gap between the level of GCSE subjects and A-level subjects. They're much much more demanding than any school work you've done so far. There's a good reason why a-level courses are done in two years.
